It has been my pleasure to photograph this beautiful family twice over the past 2 months. Two very different sessions celebrating such a precious story of growth and change. (Take a peek at their Family Maternity Session)

Their in home newborn session was easily one of my faves to date! She had asked if we could work in some fresh flowers in to the session, and of course I said yes! She said she would go get them, and have them ready. “Sounds good” I said, and I honestly didn’t think much more about it.

I arrived at there home to find two large boxes full of lush gorgeous seasonal flowers!!!

So long story short, I was in floral heaven. This sweet babe slept pretty much the entire session and I got to cuddle a fresh little one for a few hours.

I love my job. <3

This family… Let me just walk down memory lane with you for a minute. <3

I met them on a very chilly morning in November of 2015.

They then decided to come back to me in 2016 and we were blessed with storm clouds. It was gorgeous. <3

and now this… I am pretty sure they have some special potion that makes all of their sessions perfection. Who knows. It may be the same magic that gave Lilly her perfect dimples and bright eyes. I don’t know, but I do know I love this family, and have had the privilege of seeing them 3 years in a row now. They have already booked their session for next year, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings. <3

When Stephanie contacted me, I honestly almost referred her to a different photographer.

You see, I had a baby only 3 months before her wedding date, and I had told my husband that I wasn’t going to take on any weddings for a year!

I am so glad I changed my mind. <3

There was so much “depth” and history between these two families. To see the joy and comfort that they give, not only to each other, but also to the others family, was a beautiful thing to see. Friends that had walked through the tough times together gathered around in celebration, of 2 hearts that have finally found the one that makes them complete.

These two love the Harry Potter books. There were subtle touches of it’s inspiration all through the details of their wedding. As I scouted out the venue, I saw this incredible tree. I knew I needed to create something special for them with it.

I can’t even handle this little one. He was SO incredibly precious and these images don’t do his sweetness justice! All the little squeaks and grunts, the softness of newborn skin and even how they smell. I love it all. It brings back memories of when each of my own 5 children were this fresh. I could go on and on about my adoration of babies, but I’ll just stop myself now. lol

I love in home lifestyle sessions SO MUCH! Inviting me in to your personal space give images a deeper “context” and a more intimate level of sentiment. These walls, they will hold so many memories to come, and have witnessed so many beautiful moments so far.

I send out a questionnaire to all of my clients before their session. It’s a way for me to find out what you really want out of your session, the colors, the environment you are envisioning, unique family dynamics and I also ask for a little “insider info” if you have kids so I can connect with them a little faster and make them feel comfortable.

So I got the questionnaire back around 3 weeks before their session, and was “skimming” through…

Bringing their 2 dogs – Check!

Dogs are huge – Check!

Lists all of their names – Check! (I am HORRIBLE with names. More on that in a sec)

Chewy has 23 thousand followers on Instagram – WOW! Check!

“Can we use some of the photos on his IG account?” – Of course! Check!

I reply and say everything looks great and of course they can use images on Instagram!

Fast forward to the day of their session… I am actually READING their questionnaire again (Trying to commit their names to memory because I suck at remembering names. Shoot! I can’t remember my own kids names half the time!) and realize that it isn’t her husband that has 23k followers on IG but their 150# Newfoundland dog Chewy’s account! HA!

So long story short. I suck at names. I try, but it really is not my strength, and I am sorry, but at this point it probably will get worse not better. lol

So this is me, introducing Chewy, the 3 year old 150# Newfoundland Puppy, with over THIRTY TIMES as many followers than I do! lol <3
